BMW R1200RT Cam alignment tools
Re: BMW R1200RT Cam alignment tools
Hi,
Are the tools that you bought compatible with 2018 BMW RT? I am very interested in buying them too, but before I place the order I want to ensure they are the right ones for my motorbike. It would be a costly mistake otherwise.
Many thanks in advance,
Pano.

There is a difference between the 1200 and 1250 camshaft alignment jigs, also the collar that is used with the cam chain tensioner tool is a different length. Your friendly ( not necessarily local) bmw dealer should be able to sort this for you.ptoundas wrote: ↑Tue Dec 26, 2023 2:19 am Hi,

I wouldnt exspect it to be OE part at that price but if it's true to image it looks well made
